Yep, for those who are bored with the stock market, the crude oil market is unbelievable. Down $2 a barrel yesterday, up $2 today. That's $2K or so per contract (CL), each way.

Consider what would happen when the funds have to shift their weightings to the new
S&P Commodity Index. Unleaded gas in the GSCI is weighted at 2.3 percent. See
the following link for component weightings in the S&P commodity index.

Interesting. Do they have to shift to the S&P weighting? I do notice that Crude is 30.66% in the GSCI. And another 14.45 for Brent. That's versus 11.41% in the S&P Index. Unleaded rises, but these Crude weightings really stand out.
Any idea when these shifts take place?
Thanks for bringing this up.
